Yes… we know your summer holiday tan may not have even faded yet, but we’ve been preparing for Christmas a little bit early this year.
Firstly, we ran a preview day of our Festive Feasts workshop (even though it was a balmy summer’s day), and we invited some lovely journalists from local, national and online publications to come and see what the fuss was all about. Our invited guest students had a great afternoon of getting to grips with pies, roasts and lots more festivities besides.
There’s every chance you might see an article about this brilliant day appearing in one of your favourite publications in the coming weeks. But enough about that for now – we want to tell you about what else is happening in the run-up to Christmas, and – of course – how you can get involved.
Festive feasts and tasty treats
We firmly believe that vegetables richly deserve pride of place as the centrepiece of any dining table. Christmas is an ideal opportunity to share your favourite delicious veggie food with your friends and family, and what better way to show it off than by serving up the kind of indulgent, exciting and delicious dishes that – no matter how much they’ve already stuffed themselves – make everyone always seems to find room for a little more! Book yourself in now to turn your veggie Christmas dinner into something especially magical…

The life and soul of the party
They say it’s better to give than to receive. There’s something heart-warming about watching the party piece you lovingly crafted at home get devoured first – especially if it happens to be vegan and nothing else is! Our Vegan Party Food experience can help you to elevate your execution of can-do canapés and deliver the kinds of dainty little dishes that will have everyone lost for words. If you arrive wondering what treats you could bring to a vegan party, we guarantee you’ll leave itching to get invited to a few to try your new repertoire out!

Before you sit down and dine on a finely-curated selection of delicious produce, you can see it all being put together – which might just inspire your next cooking adventure. Take home all the recipes and tuck into all the food without even lifting a finger with our Luxurious Lunch Dining Experience.
